The NHL[1] announced Friday that it has cancelled games through Nov. 1. Games through Oct. 24 had already been cancelled previously.

The news comes a day after negotiations between the league and NHLPA for a new collective bargaining agreement took “a step backward,” according to commissioner Gary Bettman. On Tuesday, the league offered a proposal that would include an 82-game schedule this season that started on Nov. 2, but the NHLPA countered with three proposals that the league did not find acceptable.

With the new cancellations, 10 Bruins games this season have now been cancelled.
